Based on what the business publishes about itself
Got Canine Training is led by Leonardo Arcila and serves Oxnard and Ventura County. Leonardo reports more than 22 years of dog-training experience and describes his work as individualized around each dog's temperament, behavior, and owner goals. Services range from foundational obedience and puppy development to behavior work and protection training. The website addresses concerns including leash pulling, jumping, barking, chewing, reactivity, growling, snapping, biting, prey drive, and other challenging behaviors.
Private Lessons are offered through structured obedience packages and customized hourly training. Puppy-focused Private Lessons address crate and potty training, bite inhibition, socialization, manners, leash skills, recall, and adolescent behavior. Board and Train is available in 14-day, 21-day, 30-day, and six-week tiers, progressing from foundational obedience to deeper behavior work and advanced command development. The six-week package also advertises lifetime support, priority access, and VIP workshop access.
Current obedience and Board and Train pages explicitly describe the methodology as science-based, positive reinforcement, force-free, and fear-free, using food, praise, play, and other individual motivators rather than punishment or intimidation. The protection page separately emphasizes trust, control, structured obedience, positive reinforcement, and controlled responses rather than fear or uncontrolled aggression. Got Canine does not offer Group Classes, stating that its obedience model is based on one-on-one instruction.
Got Canine offers Private Lessons for obedience, puppy development, customized behavior goals, and protection work, plus four Board and Train tiers. A free Consultation assesses behavior, goals, lifestyle, and environment before recommending a program. The website explicitly states that Group Classes are not offered.

Current service pages explicitly describe science-based positive reinforcement with treats, praise, play, force-free methods, and fear-free techniques. Protection training emphasizes trust, control, precision, structured obedience, positive reinforcement, and an off-switch. One protection FAQ uses different "mother wolf" language, so the site's methodology wording is not completely consistent across pages.
